and thats what we are doing... Talking more...
Dude, this idea only bolsters "Competition"... and "Competition" is Good for any economy...
Why would it NOT be Good?
There ARE many other reasons "why" UOs Economy is Whacked out....
#1- NO consumables... Nothing wears out or is lost in any way shape or form... Crafters are penalized, so their tools wear out... Newbies are penalized, if they don't know about corpes/item decay... But once you get an Arty set or an Uber Armor set... Thats it, you "Buy" nothing else....So the Economy comes to a stop...
#2- Unlimited supply of Gold... in Huge amounts at High end spawns... On top of any Rare items recieved...
#3- Mega Rarity based Item system...
IMO, other games have solved these problems in various ways... and have come up with Higher Memberships than UO will ever have because of it...
